Kadriorg Palace
About

Set within the elegant Kadriorg Park, Kadriorg Palace is a Baroque masterpiece commissioned by Russian Tsar Peter the Great in 1718 as a tribute to his wife, Catherine I. Designed by Italian architect Nicola Michetti, the palace features a richly decorated main hall and is surrounded by manicured gardens inspired by Versailles. Over the centuries, it has served various roles—from imperial residence to presidential retreat—and today houses the Kadriorg Art Museum, showcasing Western European and Russian art from the 16th to 20th centuries. As one of Estonia’s most exquisite architectural landmarks, Kadriorg Palace offers visitors a glimpse into the grandeur of imperial ambition and the enduring legacy of European art and design.
